What should I do if I have frequent and urgent urination in early pregnancy?

Pregnancy is the most difficult time for the mother. The baby in the belly is unaware of the mother's hard work and is growing in the mother's belly. The baby may even be naughty and may also show some changes during pregnancy that make the mother feel uncomfortable. But in fact, it is not just as simple as nausea and vomiting. There are also other changes such as frequent urination and urgency, which mostly occur in pregnant mothers. So, what are they? Today, I will tell you what to do if you have frequent and urgent urination in early pregnancy.

It is said that pregnant women are full of pregnancy and make people feel peaceful and tranquil. Perhaps it is the baby in the belly that inspires the mother's maternal tenderness and kindness. But the baby in the belly needs to grow and become naughty, and there may be some changes during pregnancy that make the pregnant mother feel uncomfortable. Nausea and vomiting, of course, will occur. In fact, there are some other changes that will mostly happen to pregnant mothers.

NO1. Sleepiness and body aches

@萌小尧: I am probably 6-7 weeks pregnant now. I am feeling abnormally sleepy. I am almost becoming a sleep god. I spend two-thirds of my time sleeping every day! No matter how long I sleep every day, I still feel that I haven’t gotten enough sleep. Every time I wake up, I seem to feel sore all over and I really want to stick to the bed and sleep all day.

[Editor's Answer]: Although this expectant mother seems to not get enough sleep, the fact that you can sleep all day whenever you want is a rhythm that many expectant mothers envy. Don't worry, feeling weak, tired and exhausted in the early stages of pregnancy is normal because the fetus is growing and the expectant mother needs to slow down her body rhythm. After pregnancy, the body's female hormone levels change in order to adapt to the pregnancy, which can cause some pregnant women to feel sleepy and weak in the early stages of pregnancy, and sometimes they may experience body aches after waking up.

【Coping strategies】：

Faced with this situation, mothers should not worry too much: muscle soreness can usually be relieved after activity. Of course, if objective conditions permit, try to meet the body's needs, such as giving yourself as much sleep as possible.

As the pregnancy progresses, your body will gradually adapt to the changes in the internal environment during pregnancy, and these discomforts will be alleviated.

NO2. Chills, sweating, dizziness

@Sky Castle: When I had symptoms such as chills, sweating, and dizziness, I thought I had a cold. In the early stages of pregnancy, you will feel very afraid of cold. Even in the hot summer, you need to wear sports shoes and sweatpants, not to mention beautiful, cool skirts. Occasionally you will have symptoms of dizziness and headaches, and you will always sweat profusely during meals or at night. Oh, it’s so painful.

[Editor's Answer]: Pregnant mothers should not be nervous, these symptoms are actually a common reaction to early pregnancy. During the first three months after pregnancy, the placenta in the abdomen is still in the initial stage of development, which will keep the body temperature of expectant mothers at a higher level, so pregnant women generally feel afraid of cold. After all, there is a new life in the mother's uterus, and the new life needs blood supply. Some of the blood will flow down to the uterus to nourish the fetus, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the mother's head, causing dizziness.

【Coping strategies】：

Faced with this situation, pregnant mothers only need to treat the symptoms: pay attention to keeping the feet, joints, shoulders and back properly warm.

But please note that if the mother has symptoms of dizziness or excessive sweating, she should seek medical attention immediately to see if her child has anemia or hypoglycemia.

Of course, it would be better if there is complete pre-pregnancy and pregnancy care, because maternal anemia or hypoglycemia is a potential adverse factor for maternal and fetal health.

NO3. Acid reflux, belching, and abdominal distension

@娜雪: I have been pregnant for almost a month and my stomach feels very uncomfortable. Even drinking water feels bloated and eating is even more uncomfortable. It feels like my stomach is very heavy, always sour, and I want to vomit.

[Editor's explanation]: After pregnancy, due to the influence of high estrogen levels in the body, the peristaltic function of the gastrointestinal tract of pregnant mothers is weakened, so it is relatively easier for pregnant mothers to experience symptoms of indigestion, such as abdominal fullness, acid reflux, belching and other discomforts. Especially mothers with sensitive gastrointestinal tracts are more likely to experience these discomforts in the early stages of pregnancy.

【Coping strategies】：

In terms of diet, pregnant mothers should pay attention to eating small meals frequently, and there is no need to force themselves to take various well-known supplements too early. Instead, they can choose light and easily digestible foods. At the same time, try to avoid excessive intake of greasy and sweet foods. You can also choose your favorite foods according to your personal taste.

Mothers don’t have to make things difficult for themselves at this time. In fact, from a certain perspective, being good to yourself is being good to your baby.

NO4. Frequent urination

@叮当123: When I was pregnant, I had to go to the toilet frequently, which made me suffer. I clearly didn’t drink much water, but I kept running to the toilet. Baby, is it really okay to torture your mother like this?

[Editor's explanation]: As the menopause period gradually increases, the baby will naturally grow slowly, and the mother's uterus will gradually grow larger to meet the needs of the baby's continuous growth. Unfortunately, a woman's bladder is located just in front of the uterus, and the enlarged uterus will put some pressure on the bladder in the early stages of pregnancy.

Therefore, pregnant women may experience frequent urination in the early stages of pregnancy. Mothers do not need to worry, as this is another common early pregnancy reaction.

So, let me summarize it: don’t hold your urine, don’t eat too many diuretic foods, avoid sit-ups, eat more light, easily digestible foods, and mothers who like to eat sweets should also pay attention to eating less sweet and greasy foods. Mothers should pay attention.
